Manicure table MONSTROSITIES

OK where do we start on the subject of Manicure tables... Let's just get straight to the point, they're bloody hideous, ALL OF THEM!! It's either plastic, wood effect straight from the 60's, or just fat and chunky like a big old monkey. This was the dilemma we were faced with whilst shopping for the perfect elegant Rococo/Shabby Chic style table that would be the right fit with our other salon furniture. We soon realised it would be easier getting Michelle Obama in for a facial than it would be finding an attractive table. 

Exhibit A



Exhibit B


Exhibit C


AND AND AND the most important thing we totally forgot to say... they sell from anywhere between £250-£1500 that's one thousand five hundred Great British pounds if you thought you'd just had a eye spasm!!!!

So what are two girls to do, that don't except anything other than perfection?... They get it hand made that's what. So we called upon the expertise of Andy, owner of AMF Building Solutions ( Here's his number before you bombard us 07788724567  )

So without further adieu let us introduce you to the little beauty...







And here she is at LVJ






We hope you love it as much as we do, but if you prefer chunky monkeys we apologise for our previous comments (not really, we still think they're rubbish).

Love Kate & Laura

How Rude, we forgot to introduce ourselves...

                                                  KATE & LAURA



We have been best friends since the age of five & have recently opened our own Beauty Clinic. After years working our butts off for other people, doing jobs that didn't cut the mustard in the happy life department, if you know what we're saying. Then one day we had an epiphany whilst getting our nails done (Enter Angels singing) "WHY don't we do this kinda stuff ourselves"? We had both trained as Make-up artists after leaving school and went on to become the best flight attendants EVER. We know... we went slightly off course there. Now we're back on track and loving every minute of it. Check out http://lvjbeauty.com for our full bio and treatment list.

Now to the introductions

                             Laura... AKA Little Laura

Once you have Shellac you'll never go back

So Shellac thinks its the pimp daddy of nail polishes... 






AND we can't argue with it. Who wouldn't want  a colour that lasts up to 2 weeks without chipping or losing shine & shimmer. They are hard and do not scratch. Gone are the temper tantrums after you chip or smudge your freshly done manicure. When it comes time to take them off the nail, it is as easy as 1, 2, 3 & does not damage the nail itself. We're p*ssed we didn't find Shellac sooner.

Shellac has created some AMAZING fall colours that are absolutely fab & we think you're going to love them too.


First on the list is Shellac Faux Fur Nail Polish.
CND Shellac Fall 2012 Faux Fur
Second on the list for CND Shellac Fall Colours is Shellac Midnight Swim Nail Polish.
CND Shellac Fall 2012 Midnight Swim
Third on the list is Overtly Onyx Shellac Polish.
CND Shellac Fall 2012 Overtly Onyx
Fourth is the polish Pretty Poison.
CND Shellac Fall 2012 Pretty Poison
The fifth Shellac fall colour is Sugared Spice.
CND Shellac Fall 2012 Sugared Spice
The sixth and final fall colour by CND for Shellac is Vexed Violette.
CND Shellac Fall 2012 Vexed
Happy Shellacing
